Royal Golf Mohammedia: The Scottish Challenge on the Atlantic
Bordering the Atlantic, Royal Golf Anfa Mohammedia is an 18-hole course whose identity is shaped by wind, rolling fairways and compact greens. Known locally as “the Scottish”, it offers a very different challenge from its sister nine-hole course in Casablanca.
A coastal course with a Scottish nickname
The Royal Moroccan Golf Federation describes the Mohammedia layout as a 27-hectare course bordering the Atlantic and nicknamed “the Scottish”. The nickname reflects a course exposed to the prevailing winds, with undulating fairways and small greens.
The landscape shifts between open coastal stretches and more sheltered, wooded sections. Eucalyptus, mimosa, broom and palms are among the vegetation named in the federation’s description, giving the course a green, varied character despite its Atlantic exposure. The official course profile identifies Hugues Lambert as the designer and lists the layout as 18 holes, Par 72. This is the Mohammedia site of RGAM, separate from Royal Golf Anfa in central Casablanca.
Wind, contours and precise approaches
The prevailing Atlantic wind is not simply a backdrop. It changes how golfers judge distance, flight and club selection, while the relatively small greens place a premium on accurate approaches.
Read the wind before choosing a club
A shot that looks straightforward in calm conditions may demand a different trajectory or club when the coastal breeze is up. Give yourself time to assess the conditions on each exposed hole.
Control the approach
Undulating fairways and compact putting surfaces reward placement. A controlled approach that finds the right part of the green can be more valuable than chasing extra distance from the tee.
A round shaped by the Atlantic
Few details define this course as clearly as its combination of coastal wind, rolling fairways and small greens. The mixture of sea-facing and wooded holes creates variety, while the nickname “the Scottish” gives a helpful sense of its exposed, links-like playing challenge.
